The Titans are looking for a new defensive line coach after Jim Washburn left to fill the same role with the Eagles. Fisher didn’t want to pursue Rocker before national signing day because he didn’t want to hurt Auburn’s recruiting efforts. Fisher’s son was a walk-on at Auburn during its national title run.

It’s unclear how much interest Rocker might have in jumping to the NFL, but he’s certainly qualified and would be a nice get.

The former All-American joined Auburn’s staff prior to the 2009 season. He helped develop defensive tackle Nick Fairley, who’s expected to be an early pick in next month’s NFL draft. In his first season on the Auburn sideline, Rocker coached Antonio Coleman to first-team All-SEC honors, and Coleman led the SEC in both tackles for loss (16.5) and sacks (10.0).

Rocker won the 1988 Outland and Lombardi Trophies while playing for the Tigers, and later was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Before joining Auburn he coached at Ole Miss, Arkansas, Cincinnati and Troy State. He was a third-round pick of the Redskins in the 1989 NFL Draft.
